indestructible video tape condemns US military
remember that “wedding party” the US military is accused of bombing in western iraq?
Video that Associated Press Television News shot a day after the attack shows fragments of musical instruments, pots and pans, and brightly colored beddings used for celebrations, scattered around a bombed out tent.

Several hours of video footage obtained Sunday by Associated Press Television News showed a wedding party that survivors said was later attacked by U.S. planes. The dead included the cameraman, Yasser Shawkat Abdullah, hired to record the festivities, which ended Tuesday night before the planes struck. [link]
there’s no word yet on exactly how yasser’s tape made it through the midnight-to-4am bombing raid unscathed.
